Sisyphus is a jQuery plugin that saves HTML form data to LocalStorage so users can restore drafts after browser crashes, accidental tab closures, or other interruptions. It provides Gmail-like client-side draft functionality for any web form.
Use cases
- save form drafts locally so users don't lose input after a browser crash
- restore form data when a user accidentally closes a tab
- add gmail-like draft persistence to comment or contact forms
- protect long form entries from session loss
- autosave html form fields to localstorage
When to choose
- you have a jQuery-based site with forms where losing user input is costly
- you want simple client-side draft saving without a backend
- users fill out long forms that are vulnerable to crashes or accidental navigation
When to avoid
- your project does not use jQuery or you want a framework-agnostic solution
- you need server-side draft synchronization across devices
- the library appears to be in maintenance mode with little recent development
